Fundraising Toolkit

Creating a personalized fundraising page is an exciting way for you to make an impact and help Gillette meet our mission by raising funds, your way. Hosting your own fundraiser can be as simple as having a yard sale or as exciting as hosting a concert, golf tournament or other big event. The options are endless. The key is to find an event or activity that you are passionate about and that you think your friends, family and colleagues will support.

 

WHAT TYPE OF FUNDRAISER CAN I CREATE?

The more unique, the better! Try to find a fundraising event type that will not directly compete with other successful and long-standing benefit events in your area.

Here’s some suggestions to get started:

• Sports – Participate in a Cycle, Triathlon or 5K, host a tournament.
• Birthdays – Donate your birthday to the cause and ask for donations.
• Special Occasions – include your special occasion like a wedding or baby shower and collect donations.
• Holidays – Ask for donations in lieu of gifts.
• Parties – Bring your friends and family together for the cause. You can host a casino night, happy hour, pancake breakfast, potluck dinner or any type of party.
• Be Creative – Engage in a type of activity that you would like to do.

Tips! Use your local community contacts to kick-start your fundraiser, such as your office, church, gym, or school. Engage those that already share a common interest with you.
